HI ALL

I am making a script,That will does the following,I am in search of ideas

1.Script will comment all existing the entries in resolve.conf
2.Add new entries like this

abc.example.com
192.168.1.x
I can use sed to add comment.

How do you make sure another process (such as the DHCP client) does not try to modify the script while you're writing it?

Wouldn't it make better sense to write a new file all-at-once?

I think you are going about it the wrong way.

Code:

RESOLV=/home/syed/shellscript/resolv.conf
exec <$RESOLV >$RESOLV.new

while read line ; do 
   echo "# $line"
done

echo search.example.com
echo nameserver xxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx
echo nameserver yyy.yyy.yyyy.yyyy

exec >-
mv $RESOLV $RESOLV.$$.bak 
mv $RESOLV.new $RESOLV

Code:

exec $<RESOLV >$RESOLV.new

above line should be -> exec <$RESOLV >$RESOLV.new

Thanks,
bash

Not working see below

Code:



#! /bin/bash
RESOLV=/tmp/reslov.conf
exec < $RESOLV >$RESOLV.new

while read line ; do 
   echo "# $line"
done

echo search.example.com
echo nameserver xxx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx
echo nameserver yyy.yyy.yyyy.yyyy

exec >-
mv $RESOLV $RESOLV.$$.bak 
mv $RESOLV.new $RESOLV

tmp]$ ./resolv.sh2
./resolv.sh2: line 3: /tmp/reslov.conf: No such file or directory
